No problem. If it’s any comfort, I use Bethel Animal Clinic and they are all wonderful there.

Do you mind sharing your recipe? It's always been something I'd like to make.

Reply to Is Xfinity internet bad in Pittsburgh? by jayx468
Xfinity is up to whatever speed you pay, due to some technical lingo you might not care about.
If quality of internet speed is important to you, Fios all day.
Up time is pretty much consistent on either, from my experience though.

I second Forbes. They're ass. If I need to go to the hospital, I'm taking my chances going to West Penn first.
And I live in Penn Hills

Reply to Best Bar District for age (25-30) by carsnvinyl
Have dinner at Federal Galley. It's great for large groups and contains four different restaurants. It's in the North Side so head to any of the other bars recommended by others afterwards.

There’s also one on Black St, right off Stanton! Rented spaces, if you’re near East Liberty

I normally make mine at home. If you want the best, you need Italian espresso beans and Savoiardi biscuits (from Italy). You can get both of these from shops in the strip district (I get mine from pennmac). You can also make your own mascarpone cheese for the recipe at home if you want. You can make a big tray for ~$12-15, compared to ~8-9 for one slice.

Is there any reason to get a state id over a real ID (or vise versa)?

While the Consent Decree from 2014 or 2015 allows Highmark to contract with UPMC, they can still define networks like any other insurance company. There are some Highmark plans that place UPMC providers and facilities in a less preferable tier.
Regardless, the commenter might mean that, due to their coverage, they hope to be at an AHN facility because UPMC would be financially ruinous.

Airport area - if I have to go to Monroeville, I pack an overnight bag. I'd rather drive to Cleveland.

Do they still not have a burn unit, anyone know?
Long story short - my kid got burnt and sent to the hospital (not in my care) and I was initially told Childrens, and arrived and they told me they have no burn unit so he was probably sent to Mercy (he was).
Mercy was great, they even have a little play area with like a kid's play area and wheeled in a TV with a Wii and stuff. The only bad part was that his bed/unit was in the main either ICU or step-down unit and more than a few nights I laid awake listening to stabbing victims cuss out the nurses.

The deadline is when a normal PA ID will no longer be accepted as valid identification for federal purposes.
PA still issues regular IDs and you are not required to get a real ID. However, you will need a second form of id that is accepted by the federal government (such as a passport or military id) if you want to fly or enter a federal facility.
You can switch to real id at any time and PennDOT issue you a real ID valid for 4 years plus the remaining validity on your existing id.
Real ID is not a passport.
fwiw, Real ID has been a thing for like 20 years now and has been continually kicked down the road. PA had a law stating (weakly) that they would not comply since the federal government didn't fund it. iirc, the trump admin refused to continue offering waivers for PA and, at that point, PA started to take steps to implement the program. I 'm guessing that the latest postponements are pandemic-related.

Same thing really but the real id has supposedly better verification as to you being who you say you are.
